If a person's blood pressure is too high for an extended period of time, it can cause serious damage to the blood vessels. This damage can cause a variety of complications, some of which can be fatal. Heart failure, vision loss, stroke, kidney disease, and other health issues are among them.
Good thing is, there are methods for controlling high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.
Here are simple ways to control High Blood Pressure without medication;
Improve Blood Pressure Management
Lowering your sodium intake is the first step because sodium causes the body to retain excess fluid, which raises blood pressure. This adds to the strain on your heart and increases the pressure on your blood vessels.Increase Potassium Consumption
Eating potassium-rich foods is important for blood pressure control because potassium slows the effects of sodium.Potassium-rich foods include: 
a. fruits such as bananas, dried apricots, and pomegranates.
b. Vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, beets, acorn squash; and Ugwu (common in Nigeria).
c. Dairy products such as fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
d. Coconut water
